Lee Hye-young gifts Chanel bag to Ji Ye-eun, promises wedding gift

Actress Lee Hye-young demonstrated her extraordinary affection for her junior, Ji Ye-eun, by gifting her one of her own Chanel bags and promising to provide 1 million won as a wedding gift. Her advice on wedding preparations for a junior who has not even set a date yet provided both laughter and warmth.

On the 30th, Lee invited Ji to her YouTube channel as a guest to discuss dating and marriage. The two are known to have formed a bond while working together approximately three years ago, and they displayed a natural senior-junior relationship during the broadcast.

The conversation turned to Ji's romantic life. Lee showed interest in the dancer Vata, with whom Ji is in a public relationship. After checking photos of the couple, Lee made the room erupt in laughter by saying, "I permit this relationship."

Lee's care for her junior did not stop at words. She personally gifted Ji a Chanel bag she had been using. Surprised by the unexpected gift, Ji could not hide her joy, exclaiming, "This is the first Chanel bag I've ever received. It's the first Chanel bag of my life."

Lee urged her to use it comfortably, telling her, "Don't carry it too preciously. Just toss it around," as if to say not to be overly cautious with the luxury item. Ji expressed her gratitude, recalling that a Miu Miu item she previously received from Lee was also "the first Miu Miu of my life."

Following the gift, the topic of wedding congratulatory money was mentioned. Although Ji, who is currently dating Vata, has not yet set specific wedding plans or a date, Lee preemptively promised to give 1 million won in wedding money if she is invited to the ceremony.

"If you invite me, it would be an honor, and I'll give 1 million won," Lee said. When Ji expressed her surprise and gratitude, Lee emphasized once more, "You must invite me." She even added, "Don't pick out a strange wedding dress; ask me first," showing her intention to personally advise on the wedding attire.

Lee is a figure who has built a unique public persona, moving between acting, fashion, and variety shows. She has maintained a strong presence on broadcasts through her distinct fashion sense and direct way of speaking, and is well-known for freely advising her juniors based on her own experiences and tastes.

Ji is also expanding her presence, moving between variety shows and dramas. Notably, through the SBS variety program 'Running Man,' she has increased her popularity among young viewers by showcasing her unique, sly acting and strong character. With the news of her public relationship, interest in her daily life is also growing within the entertainment industry.

The relationship between the two is seen as more than just a professional connection, but a private bond built on long-standing friendship. The scene where Lee promised everything from an expensive luxury bag to wedding money for a ceremony not yet scheduled shows how much she cherishes Ji.

As Ji eventually prepares for marriage, attention is focused on whether Lee's promised 1 million won gift and her advice to "ask about the wedding dress" will become a reality. The pleasant relationship between the two is drawing attention as a unique bond in the entertainment industry, moving beyond a simple broadcast episode.
